4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Hi Kim, thanks for the input. I'm going to go with this since the box in the picture has a hinged lid at one end only."

card(board) box with end flaps

Not an expert in packaging, so I cannot say if there IS a specialist term, but this is what I would use. Or possibly "carton with end flaps".
